riddle
i am…
cold and dark. soft and hard.
each touch leaves an imprint; each imprint leaves a scar.
broken to be mended, but never the same.
the smooth lines from the beginning are all for a game.
and i don’t seem to learn when i get stepped on,
again and again.
etch in me words, names, memories,
i’ll never forget.
until i’m replaced
but there’s never regret.
what am i?

a loving heart.
Maybe not what you intented to be the answer but it is what I see in your riddle…
too deep .
try again .
cement
Probably cement…
though cement CAN be bright sometimes…
marble? tombstone? graveyard something…
graveyard…is an anagram of gravy dare.
Anyways.
I don’t think I know anything soft
and hard.
Other than…a…lol
Haha the answer was cement =] Cement is dark before it dries and also soft before it dries and becomes hard.
OMG fail…
I thought it was ink XD
Too deep I guess…
